We use Dibels, and students sometimes struggle with nonsense words (mostly because they don't make sense and they want them to make sense). I'm not a big fan of the test, but the data also shows who can blend words and who knows their middle vowel sounds. You can use the word cards for a quick 30 second review at the beginning of guided reading. They can also be used in a center. Students can sort the real words and the nonsense words, and you can even use magnetic letter apps with the word cards.
This literacy center activity will be free today! Please leave feedback if you like it.
